Activity QA bookmarklet

Information to help you use the Target QA bookmarklet to force Target to release you from QA mode.

Activity QA bookmarklet for at.js 1.x

Because QA mode is sticky, after you browse a website in QA mode, your Target session must expire or you need to have Target release you from QA mode before you can view your site like a typical visitor. Use the QA Target bookmarklet to force yourself out of QA mode.

To use the Target QA bookmarklet, create a bookmarklet containing the following JavaScript code and add it to your browser’s Bookmarks Toolbar:

javascript:(
    function () {
        if (window.location.href.indexOf('?') != -1) {
            var parts = window.location.href.split('at_preview_token',2);
            if (parts.length > 1) {
                window.location.href = parts[0].concat('at_preview_token=');
            } else {
                window.location.href = window.location.href.concat("&at_preview_token=")
            }
        } else {
            window.location.href = window.location.href.concat("?at_preview_token=")
        }
    }
)();

You can also manually force yourself out of QA mode by loading a page on your site with the at_preview_token parameter with an empty value.

For example:

https://www.mysite.com/?at_preview_token=

Activity QA bookmarklet for at.js 2.x

In contrast to at.js 1.x, at.js 2.x does not support third-party cookies, and QA mode is only sticky for the first-party domain (by means of a first-party cookie set by at.js). Thus, in at.js 2.x, QA mode session is managed only on the client-side and no QA mode cookies are sent to Target.

To use the Target QA bookmarklet, create a bookmarklet containing the following JavaScript code and add it to your browser’s Bookmarks Toolbar:

javascript:(
    function () {
        var AT_QA_MODE = 'at_qa_mode=';
        var isSet = document.cookie.split(';').some(function (cookie) {
            return cookie.trim().startsWith(AT_QA_MODE);
        });
        if (isSet) {
            document.cookie = AT_QA_MODE + ';domain='+window.location.hostname+";Path=/; Max-Age=-0;";
            var token = window.location.href.indexOf("?at_preview_token")<0? "&at_preview_token" : "?at_preview_token";
            var url = window.location.href.split(token,2)[0];
            window.open(url, '_self', 'noreferrer');
        }
    })();
